ROCHESTER, Pa., Feb. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania-based nonprofit Lincoln Learning Solutions today announced it will provide elementary school students in Louisiana with state standards-aligned, engaging curriculum as part of a choice of learning tools at University View Academy.

"We are working hand-in-glove with administrators at University View Academy to assure their kindergarten through fifth-grade students have a top-notch experience with Lincoln Empowered, our flagship curriculum," Bob Clements, President of Lincoln Learning Solutions, said.

University View Academy, which serves 2100 students from 60 parishes, will utilize the courses in the 2017-2018 school year to teach nearly 600 kindergarten through fifth-grade students in English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education Art and Music. Kindergarteners also will use Empowered's Math course.

"It's a solid partnership," Clements said, "primarily because we at Lincoln Learning Solutions are of the same mindset as the school's administrators, whose priority it is to focus on each student's individual needs."

Empowered can be deployed virtually, in a blended environment, in brick-and-mortar settings, and at home. Additionally, it provides students with an interactive experience, and gives everyone who uses it easy-to-navigate course content that is accessible 24-7.

"Like University View, we are a non-profit organization, and serving schools and communities is central to our mission," Clements said. "It's a natural fit."

Clements said Superintendent Dr. Alonzo "Lonnie" Luce and his staff have fostered a process that will allow Lincoln Learning to easily integrate University View students and position them to get off to a to a smooth start when the new school year begins.
